I wonder if our Chinese contributors can access this thread?

@SenseNotSoCommon Hopefully not.

You stay classy, China.

Saw a report on BBC News last night of HK coppers kicking a protester in the shadows... that could have prompted it? They're also apparently sending in the PLA... maybe they don't want the people in China to find out what's happening in HK through media they don't control.

The muted response of the world's leading countries is disgusting, countries that are otherwise all too eager to destabilise and even send troops to foreign lands under the call for democracy and freedom for those peoples. China has bought off the world's leading countries through its foreign investment strategies.

Earlier this month a Chinese court issued new rulings clamping down on what “netizens” can say and do online, a reflection of Beijing’s desire to influence popular opinion, both online and offline.

How long will China continue to play this game? Don't they realize they are simply trying to plug more and more holes in the dike? For example, with the rapid increase in the middle-class in China, more and more Chinese citizens are traveling overseas -- duh, has anyone been to Las Vegas or Honolulu lately? Do they not think that these folks get on-line while they are away and read up on what is really going on? Which makes their resentment towards censorship grow even more when they return home.

“The Revolution introduced me to art, and in turn, art introduced me to the Revolution!”

China, you cannot escape your fate.
